Lee Docken has been a resident of Boardman since 1970. He and his wife, Pam, have been active in community affairs for many years, including Boardman Chamber of Commerce, the Kiwanis Club, and the Elks. He served on the Boardman Planning Commission for 18 years, with some of those years as chairman.
Owning and operating Mountain Valley Land Company keeps Docken actively involved in development of our local area, and constant contact with members’ needs and the UEC field crews and office staff.
Docken currently represents District 1 on the Umatilla Electric Board of Directors and has served in the past as the board vice president and chairman of Rural Services Company, a former subsidiary of UEC.
Docken has achieved the Credentialed Cooperative Director Program certification and attends the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association’s Director Training Courses for Rural Electric Systems.
“The challenge facing the cooperative today is the state and federal mandates for ‘green power.’ We must balance these requirements while maintaining the commitment to provide all members with reliable service at the lowest possible rates,” he said.
“UEC can achieve this by its continued participation in political and generation issues, water supply, and the fish and dam issues. I would appreciate the opportunity to further serve the members of District 1 by receiving your vote.”
